Carolyn Heaps ELECTED 2202 votes Liberal Democrat.
A long standing Old Town resident, Carolyn is married with two grown-up children. She is well-known locally, having worked as the Practice Nurse at Green Street surgery before moving to another Practice.
Carolyn is passionate about improving the facilities for families and elderly people in Old Town, she believes that the present Council has let down young people by failing to update leisure and play facilities.
Carolyn wants to see a major improvement to recycling and composting in the town and draws attention to the Council's poor position in the recycling league of only 305 out of the 393 local authorities in the country. She wants to see our recycling rate double over the next four years. Carolyn is committed to improving the Old Town area and, if elected will fight not only on the big issues but also for smaller improvements, close to peoples homes which are so often of great importance to local residents.

Andrew Goodwin ELECTED 2007 votes Liberal Democrat.
Andrew Goodwin has lived here for a couple of years now having previously lived all over the South East and thoroughly loves Eastbourne!
He works for The LINK Centre for Deafened People, helping to rehabilitate deafened people of all ages to come to terms with acquired profound hearing loss. He has a particular interest in the modernisation of Eastbourne and wants to make it accessible to and enjoyed by everyone.
One of the reasons Andrew wants to become a Councillor is to stop the current Councillors wasting public money on unpopular schemes. Andrew says "The current fiasco on the parking scheme and the shameful 52% pay raise for Tory Councillors makes me so angry! By changing the make-up of the Council, we can make Eastbourne greater, increase the employment prospects for all, improve facilities for families and help Eastbourne remain a wonderful place to live in".

As a former Parliamentary campaigner and Local Council candidate for the Ecology Party in Eastbourne, he believes in the importance of making Eastbourne greener by adopting comprehensive energy saving policies and doubling the town's recycling in the next four years.
As a Liberal Democrat, he believes in listening to the concerns of local residents and in giving them a greater say in the future of their community and in greater social inclusion and the provision of improved services for the disadvantaged members of society.
He also believes that the Council should set an example to its residents by implementing green policies, avoiding waste and spending taxpayers' money responsibly.

Clive Gross 681 votes Green Party.
Among the key issues for the town I have been campaigning for is a high quality Town Centre redevelopment and the preservation of vital local small community businesses such as in Albert Parade. We deserve to be more than just another Clone Town centre with just a bigger and blander shopping centre than we already have - which is what the Council and their developers seem to want. We need to keep and enhance the unique character of our town, as that is what will attract visitors to keep coming back to Eastbourne.
Despite a lot of green sounding rhetoric coming from even the most unlikely political corners these days, it is delivery of green policies on the ground that actually counts. Greens believe in more local decision making and a more representative local Council. We support the principal of all major Borough Council decisions being made by the entire Council, not just a handful of Cabinet Committee members. For a real Green voice in Eastbourne and a long-term vision for Old Town, please support Old Town Greens.
